Decanted and served with king salmon. This had lovely flavor and structure but the toasted oak and tannins would still seem to benefit from more integration. There's plenty of youthful fruit left so I expect improvement with more bottle age.

After so many years, this has finally opened up. Medium expressive nose displaying subtle sweet red and black fruit, raspberry jelly, blackberry, beautiful sous bois, black truffle, cinnamon and nutmeg, tree bark and earthy mineral. Nicely integrated palate, finely layered subtle red fruit, silky and fluid, medium acidity, a hint of slightly dry tannins and a medium long red fruit driven finish. This is a nice mature Burgundy.

Strong sous bois finally emerged, sweet slightly dry red fruit, mushroom, a hint of cedar, leather, sweet spices and earth. Fully integrated palate, subtle dry red fruit, medium acidity, earthy mineral and a medium to long sweet red fruit driven finish. Very good showing

Starting to show sous bois. Light weight for sure but it is gaining weight.
